Kiss the Blarney Stone for Luck
Something like 300,000 people go to Cork, Ireland to kiss the Blarney Stone every year. They lie down backwards with someone sitting on their legs, and wedge their head in the crevice so they can reach it. After a few pilgrims fell into the abyss, iron rails were put there to grab hold of while attempting this feat. I thought it was for luck, however, they do this in hopes of becoming more persuasive and eloquent. In some instances, I suppose this could be considered the equivalent of luck. I want to go there, but then I want to go everywhere. I could take or leave stone, but I would like to go to Ireland.
I wrote a love note and stuck it to the courtyard wall at Juliets House with a piece of chewing gum. This is what you do when you are in Verona, Italy at night time. I hope its still there because Im still looking due to that particular unrequited love. The Casa di Giulietta is the actual residence of the Della Scala family and the famous balcony you see in pictures. Although the story of Romeo and Juliet is fictional, it is based on this rather savage family that was constantly feuding around the 13th & 14th centuries. It has become custom for people to write a quick love note on any shred of paper and attach it to the walls of the courtyard. These walls, from the street to the front door, are completely covered with layer upon layer of letters.hope and wishes, pleading and begging, and so on. People will write on wrappers, napkins, anything, or in a pinch, directly on the gum. Even though it seems quite comical and absurd, I did it. I was on a month long trip to Europe alone, need I say more. Verona, Italy is a great stop between Venice and Milan. It has a river that winds around the city and is indeed a very romantic place.
I dont believe in luck per say, but I believe people can be lucky. I dont play the lottery, but lets say someone wins the lottery. This has to be luck. I have a friend that has been using a system for decades, which seems quite a bit more ridiculous than believing in luck. Thinking I can control something seems more dangerous than believing in a little luck now and then. I really feel that when I am following my heart, listening to the voice inside me..coincidences, circumstances, and people miraculously show up to support that. Now is that luck? I believe in taking action and focusing on the best possible outcome. I also realize that I might know what that is. Im open to the unexpected and if I am disappointed..more will be revealed.
I must admit that while I dont believe I can control what happens by crossing my fingers, I sometimes do. I dont believe I can protect myself by knocking on wood, but I sometimes do, just in case. Ive thrown a penny in a fountain, but a rabbits foot freaks me out. Ick! Where do they get them from? Dont think about it. I always have a guitar pick in my pocket. I feel weird if I dont, like somethings not quite right. I wouldnt walk under a ladder unless I had to, but I freely step on cracks in the sidewalk. People say lucky in love. One cant be lucky in love, if they dont love in the first place. I know that I have the best chance of being lucky, if I follow my heart. I Honor My Truth!
